White House Touts Charging Gains, but Gaps Remain Charging infrastructure continues to be one of the main issues slowing down EV adoption, even with the recent plans to open up Tesla's Supercharger network to electric models from many other automakers. But there is only so much that Tesla Superchargers can do—other charging networks need to make significant strides toward greater ease of use and reliability ratings.
This month the Biden Administration announced $521 million in funds to be awarded as part of the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Grant Program. The latest injection of funds will be split among major charging corridors and community-level EV charring projects, with the White House also pointing out that the number of publicly available EV chargers has doubled since early 2021.
But it's not just about new infrastructure. There are plenty of older EV stations that need upgrades, and this goes for chargers and convenience features alike. And older EV stations are not being ignored anymore.
Here's the latest on the efforts being made. |
